An estimated 30,000 people are living with cystic fibrosis in the U.S. This genetic disease can cause progressive lung damage and recurrent episodes of lung infections in many who are affected. Understanding the effects of COVID-19 is critical to patients with cystic fibrosis as this worldwide pandemic continues.
"Cough and shortness of breath, which are common signs of COVID-19 infection, also occur frequently in patients with cystic fibrosis. This overlap of symptoms can certainly raise a patient's concern about a possible COVID-19 infection," says Dr. Margaret Johnson, a Mayo Clinic pulmonologist.
